(2+5)(3²+4−3) solve.

Answer 1

5-x and 4-x would be your answer

Explanation:

Answer 2

Yes , the products of both expressions are the same

Explanation:

Given

(-5 + x)( x + 4)

Using the distributive property we have

-5xx -5x4 + xxx +xx4

Negative times positive becomes negative

-5x - 20 + x^2 + 4x

Also (5 + x)(x - 4)

Using the distributive property

5xx +5-4 + xxx +xx-4

5x^2 -20 + x^2 - 4x

The product of -5 + x and x + 4 is equal to the product of 5 + x and x - 4
